America's First Lady Michelle Obama covers her third issue of Vogue, lensed by Annie Leibovitz with styling by Tonne Goodman. Personally, I find the Photoshop out of control, but that has nothing to do with my beloved, beautiful and kind-hearted First Lady. To trade her for the two for the price of one Melania/Ivanka Trump duo is really more than I can bear emotionally.

As committed as I was to Hillary for 18 long months, I never cried over her presidential loss, even though I've been in a sad, sad funk since November 8.

I admit to always supporting Michelle Obama from the moment she walked into the White House, but I was underwhelmed by her commitment to advancing women's rights and wrote so. Mrs. Obama routinely referred to herself as 'Mom in chief', as she took on initiatives like healthy eating and supporting our dedicated veterans and their families. Vogue reflects:

“It was pooh-poohed as a sort of soft swing at the ball,” she says. By the middle of the second term, she had become more ambitious—launching two education initiatives, Reach Higher and Let Girls Learn—and over the past year and a half finding her métier, turning herself into the First Lady of Popular Culture, mastering social media (thanks to her proximity to a certain couple of teenage girls), appearing as herself on shows like NCIS and Parks and Recreation, singing karaoke with James Corden, and basically charming the pants off of everyone. Somewhere along the way, she became the greatest political communicator of our time—better than Bill Clinton, better than her husband—someone whose speeches actually start national conversations. And throughout all of this, she has remained one of the most glamorous women in the world—admired by teenagers and grandmothers alike—whose daring fashion instincts have won her near-universal accolades from an industry that had a champion in the White House for the first time in decades.

While I came to have great respect for every action taken by Michelle Obama and especially her moral stand against Donald Trump and her support for Hillary, Mrs. Obama's 'Let Girls Learn' initiative that truly captivated my heart.

It's factual to say that I'm in total avoidance psychologically and emotionally over the Obamas leaving the White House and the Trumps moving in. I do not intend to watch the inauguration and will probably be sobbing -- as I was last night watching CNN's film 'We Will Rise' about Michelle Obama's global education initiative for girls. CNN's Isha Sesay is joined by Freida Pinto and Meryl Streep as they travel to Liberia and Morocco in advance of Michelle Obama's arrival.

Watching the First Lady's plane land first in Liberia, I simply lost it totally and the tears were endless. I was so proud watching that big jet with USA emblazoned on it touch down, and my pain was acute knowing that most probably all the girls' and women's initiatives launched first by Hillary Clinton as Secy of State and then continued by Michelle Obama will be lost in a Trump Administration. Can you imagine Melania and Ivanka touching down In Liberia and Morocco -- unless it's Marrakech and the refurbished La Mamounia hotel? No, you can't.

Interviewed by CNN about her commitment to girls' education, Michelle Obama says: "This issue is personal for me".

For me, education was power.

And a few years ago, when I had the honor of meeting Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head just for trying to go to school, this issue got really personal for me. I saw that the terrorists who nearly killed her were trying to silence her voice, snuff out her ambitions, and take away her power.

After sobbing for a good 10 minutes, I pulled myself together with the knowledge that terrible things are going to happen to women and girls in America and around the world, as a result of the new Trump Administration. I know that Michelle Obama will go forward with her Let Girls Learn initiative, and AOC will support her at every turn.

Just as I am committed to donating 5% of GLAMTRIBALE Jewelry & Gifts revenues to The Kibera School for Girls, I'm committed to following the lead of incredible women like Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Freida Pinto, Meryl Street, Melinda Gates and countless women and men committed to educating girls here in America and around the world.

As for our incredible First Lady, she towers over most of them as she has managed to stay out of controversy and inspire most Americans of every political persuasion. Michelle Obama's reputation worldwide is stunning and I love her to death. Michelle has blended feminism into the American dialogue in an incredibly positive way. The entire country is so lucky to have had her grace, wit, style, warmth, brilliance and emotional resonance for these eight years.

Enjoy this 10 minute clip of our First Lady talking about the CNN film 'We Will Rise' at its White House premiere in October 2016. I know that after a well-deserved vacation, Michelle Obama will raise her torch high and we will follow her lead to the ends of the earth.

With great love for you, Michelle. ~ Anne
